The "Rood" citizen nnd "best" peo
ple who neck to establish their statu1
Ins by oft repeated assertion of virtue
are by no means u constant quantity
when dealing with the honest man of
honest opinions.
A celebration of the great Chinatown
fire with Its seero losses seems nn
Incongruous affair except there he oc
casion tor thanksgiving that the Iron
was no greater and there's a possibility
of being reimbursed.
Commodore Weaver was unkind. A
gentleman who did so much to enllei
"society" and lighted the pocket book
of the sports ought at least lie wlllitu
to stick his head out of the wlndow
and say hullo us he goes by.
If the Examiner doesn't find C. Wel
ter one of the hardest propositions It
eer ran up against, the friends of thai
gentleman miss their guess. Mr. Wol
ters can carry his laborers through the
gauntlet of calamity howlers If any on?
cm.
Ten thousand Tennessee negroes; ten
thousand I'orto Ricnns. Taking thu
correspondents at their word will this
addition to the population of Hawaii
creute n future citizenship of which ...1
people will have reason to be particu
larly proud?
Not the least of the advantages ac
cruing to the traveling public from
the splendid now Oceanic liners will
he the absence of decks loads. Thu
objections of passengers on this score
will be n thing of the past within com-
paiatlvely few days.
The Advertiser Is making a studlod
effort to forget the antl-haolo accusa
tions made by It against the Hawaiian
Americans. This Is not an evidence of
n change of heart, hut merely n detail
In the scheme to get Into the good
graces of n ruling element.
One of the most Interesting features
of telephone Carrlngton's career here
was that he was piactlcally vouched foi
by both the morning papers. When
newspapers boom n fakir It Is not sur
prising that some of the gullible Intll
vlduals pay the price of experience.
The protruding tracks on King
street received prompt attention fol
lowing their special mention In th
Bulletin. This Is finite satisfactory but
proper care of the streets means that
they should not be allowed to rnh
such dilapidated condition as to de
mand special mention.
Freak Editor Harmsworth whom the
New York World Imported from En
gland has met with ubout as much suc
cess as the Rev. Sheldon. Tho public
can stand It for a week or ho, but con
tinuous action would lead tho paper
conducted under such Jurisdiction to
the short road to destruction.
According to all accounts the Ad
vertiser management seems to know
more about Owner Thurston's connec
tion with the Rapid Transit Company
than do the company directors. IVi-
haps the Rapid Transit Is one of those
companies where dlrectois ratify nftct
tho business has been done.
Lecturer Murphy will find Honolulu
a fruitful field for work and It is to
bo hoped, success. Could lie put an
end to tho American treating habit he
would accomplish much towards coun
teracting the damaging effects of the
liquor habit. Onco Indlvldualcltlz4ra
nre educated to a temperance stand
point, there need be no further worrry
about passing laws to regulate tho
tralDc.
Experience Is a good teacher. Dele,
gate Wilcox will eventually find In
making military and naval appoint
ments that the only satisfactory meih
od Is to follow the custom obtaining in
all Congressional districts. This open)
tho preliminary competitive examlnn
ttou to all comers, the appointment be
ing made from those standing highest
in tho mathematical branches. This
usually forestalls tho possibility of any
of the young men being turned down
when taking their final examination
for entrance to the academy.
The final speeches of the Independent
party leaders who will have a con
trolling voice In the Legislature ring
with natural enthusiasm tempercl
with thoughtful moderation. Expcn
ence In legislative work Is valuable
hut above, all straightforward houes'y
and a spirit of Justice toward nil citi
zens nnd classes of citizens Is lequlrnd
to letnln the confidence and respect
of constituents. Let tho principles ex
pounded by tho speakers bo followed to
tho letter, nnd none need fear that our
"llrst Territorial Legislature will go
far astray.
PINGRC1! AND Ttlli " GOOD
CITIZEN."
Ilazen S. Plngree retiring Governor
of the State of Michigan In his fare
well address to the Legislature stntes
pertinent facts relative to the attitude,
of so-called "hpst citizens." Ills com
ments havo been exemplified repeatedl
In Hawaii except that these Inlands
have not possessed nnd do not now
possess n chief executive of Plngrec's
Independence, forco of character nnrt
active, postlve. practical regard for
the Interests of the people as against
the corpotatlon. Governor I'lngres
speaking from a political cxnErlenccjif,
twelve years draws this conclusion-
"That In order to secure the full
commendation of those who con
sider themselves the "better
classes' the Governor nnd other
olllclals must do nothing to antago
nize the great corporations nnd
the wealthy people. 1 am satisfied
that t could have had the praise
and support of our 'best citizens'
nnd our 'best society' and of the
press of the State generally If 1
had upheld, those who have Tor
years attempted to control legis
lation In their own Interests that
they might bo relieved from shar
ing equall.v with the poor and low
ly the burden of taxation,"
Thus Plngree. who has been one of
the most notable reform otllclsls of
the fnltcil States finds that the pres
ent dangers of our government havo
their principal tourru In the self as
sertive, much vaunted "good citizen,'
who assuming a supreme degree of
piety nnd honesty Invariably bends his
effort to sway legislation for the Bpeclnl
servlco of private ends. It Is the "good
citizen' that ever crys out against tho
dangein threatening from "the peo
ple." It Is the "good citizen" who ad
vocates restriction of the franchise. It
Is the "good tltlzen" who seeks to
establish his high character by fre
quent nxsertlon of his superiority.
With ever Increasing regularity It Is
becoming apparent that the usserte.l
"goodness" of the citizen ndvnnccs Willi
his Incienslug wealth. Wealth shows
Itself In prlmnrles nnd. with Htudh'd
Indifference of the popular Interests or
mandates, seeks to Influence legisla
tion. "Good" citizenship and wealthy
manipulators have become so far syn
onymous, that the self proclaimed
"good" and "best" citizen has become
a factor In political llfo from whose
activity the people, have the most to
fear. Plngree has found It, Roosevelt
realized It when ho sought to secure,
laws passed placing a fair share of
Hit taxation huidens on corporate
wealth. The same factor Is constant
ly In evidence In the political life ol
Hawaii. The Incoming Legislature In
mapping out the new scheme of taxa
tion will feel Its power with renewed
force.
WILL STAND BY BRYAN.
Denver, Jan. 2. Thomas M. letter
son, who was permanent chairman of
tho Populist National Convention In
1900, nnd who Is one of the leading
candidates for United States Senator
before the present Legislature, com
menting upon the action of eight Pop
ulist Senators who yesterday proclaim
ed their allegiance to the Democratic
party, declares they did the "common
sense nnd practical thing," nnd adds.
"All silver men must stand with Mr.
Ilryan and the Western Democracy In
this fight. Silver men can best nld their
Democratic friends from within the
Democratic citadel, They can. In can
cus, In primaries. In conventions and
at elections, do their part to strength
en the nrm of Bryan nnd overthrow the
goldbug contingent of the Democratic
party In Its announced nssault upon
the Democratic principles which se
cured from Colorado 30,000 majority
for tho Bryan Electors."

THAT KAHUNA STORY.
Apropos of tho death of David Naona
and his having been frightened to
death 01 poisoned by kahunas, It might
be stated that, while he was nt tl'.J
Sunday school convention down the
road. Just previous to his stroke of
paralysis, he met with n strange experi
ence. While In attendance nt one
meeting a native In the audience nroso
nnd, pointing nt Naone's shoulder said
In loud tones, "There Is a great ball
of blood red fire resflngon your right
shoulder "
Nuoue was n thorough going Chris
tian nnd tooki)ribsoluiely no notice of
this attempt to frighten him. Ho vvai
neither "kahunaVd" nor poisoned hut
died the death an one Is liable to when
stricken with paralysis.
